Sounders FC vs. Real Salt Lake, pregame

Sounders FC hosts Real Salt Lake at 1 p.m., a game featuring the two top teams in points and goals scored leaguewide. RSL (6-0-6) is also looking to become the first team to go unbeaten in its first 13 games of the season.

Seattle, for its part, is looking to win its fifth straight at home.

Obviously this game is featuring a lot of guys called up to the U.S. national team for the World Cup preparation (Clint Dempsey, Kyle Beckerman, Nick Rimando, DeAndre Yedlin) plus some guys injured (Alvaro Saborio, Joao Plata, Djimi Traore).

One other thing to look for is if the Sounders make a change at goalkeeper, which seemed to be at least in the discussion earlier in the week.
